The sounds those death worms make is so disturbing. I love it!

I'd love a tiger, given that it's my favourite animal.

In one of the Creating GI Joe books, there's an unmade character that never made it past the concept stage that is a Cobra tiger trainer. It was likely intended to be in either the '87 or '88 lineup.

I have no idea if it's even legally possible for Hasbro to do those never made concepts, but that would be a cool series for Classified. Concept characters. I assume they own the property, art and all of those designs though since the artists were under contract for them, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Star Wars has done concept art characters, would be great if Classified did some at some point.

Gooru the kangaroo (came with Kangor, a Big Boa repaint)
Leonx the lion (came with Leontor, a Backblast repaint)

I have seen the packaging for the Estrela Forca Fera online (Yo Joe.com), but never seen those names for the pets. What is the source for them? I know The Collector Club re-did some (all?) of them later on, but that was about the time that Yo Joe.com fell apart and is missing those later figures.

I ask because I picked up a big kangaroo off e-Bay, but never had a name to go with him. Of course, with Cold Slither and iguana-Serpentor showing up, the chance of Hasbro doing Forca Fera repaints is real now.

I don't see a manta ray, barracuda, OR a robot shark anywhere on here.

What the hell is wrong with you people??

Lemme get all these in Classified. Maybe with some underwater "flight" stands.

The names are all mentioned on the file cards. Here are the translations for all four:

URZOR
Urzor does not get along with anyone and only supports the company of Ursus, his bear companion. Especially because he helps him in hunts and ambushes, with devastating attacks that annihilate everything with a single blow. Armed with only a knife, Urzor causes misery. Hunting endangered animals to sell their parts and using a bayonet along with infallible and fatal traps, which guarantees both of their survival and the defeat of their enemies.

"The animals never sniff out Urzor because he knows the tricks to pass himself off as one of them. He sleeps hugging the bear, in addition to keeping warm, he also gets his scent. He only eats what he catches in his traps. Bathing is out of the question and only if it rains. And he never uses soap!"



TIGOR
Tigor is also known as "Tiger Man", due to the perfection with which he imitates the roar and manner of this animal. They even say he talks to his loyal friend Bangla - a fierce Bengal tiger, who obeys his commands. In the middle of the jungles, camouflaged as a tiger and with the help of Bangla, Tigor really is invincible. Especially when his rifle roars, scaring away all the Cobras.

"A young zoologist decided to fight against fur hunters in Africa and India. Thus, Tigor emerged. In India, he faced the hideous Cobra Urzor and liberated Bangla the tiger. He gained a mortal enemy and a loyal friend in adventures."



LEONTOR
The jungle holds no secrets for Leontor. He is capable of spending years deep in the woods, with a minimum amount of resources. With his multipurpose knife, he does whatever is necessary to ensure his survival. With his telescope, he can find his way around by taking information from the sky and figuring out the distances around him. And to help him fight enemies and animals, he relies on the amazing strength of Leonx, his inseparable lion friend.

"At the age of 10, Leontor got lost with his kitten in the Atlantic forest. After days of searching, to everyone's surprise, he reappeared safe and sound. He had drunk rainwater and eaten fruits and roots. Using the stars as his guide, he arrived home without any problems!"



KANGOR
A cruel and insensitive boxer, Kangor was expelled from all the championships he participated in for being too violent and unfair. On a trip to Australia, he stole and trained the kangaroo Gooru to form the most hideous duo ever seen. Kangor uses and abuses dirty blows and Gooru, balanced on his tail, delivers accurate punches with his front paws and devastating kicks with his back paws, without being hit by anyone!

"A brawler, no one could beat Kangor in a street fight. If he was at a disadvantage, he would immediately appeal and call his friends to help him. Oh yes: His friends were a huge bulldog and a very frightening group of dogs..."

See and this is how I get it in my head that they could do an accurate actual snake eyes ver 2 on retro card w/timber look how they used to package stuff just put timber in a prone position like tuck his legs tail together so he takes up less space but keep the pose ability and viola there it is .


. I?m still waiting on Darth Brett to do a mock up snake eyes version two on retro card with timber.

Thank you! The file card scans on Yo Joe.com are just about impossible to read. Well, be able to read and then translate. Too bad no one can update the site anymore with some higher resolution scans. And 3DJoes hasn't gotten to Forca Fera yet.

Tiger, with hesitancy. Hate to say it, but I passed on the SE & Polar Bear even though polar bears are my favorite animal. Tigers are my second favorite. They need to be grand slams that destroy a perfect game, not home runs.

Not only do I hope we get Repeater, but I'd love to see Retaguarda and Urzor with his grizzly bear.
